I can't tell you where a poem comes from, what it is, or what it is for: nor can any other man. The reason I can't tell you is that the purpose of a poem is to go past telling, to be recognised by burning.

  • -- A. R. Ammons 安蒙斯

我不能告诉你一首诗从何而来,它是什么,它是干什么用的,别人也不能告诉你。我不能告诉你的原因是,一首诗的目的是超越叙述,通过燃烧得到认可。
